    Rear subframe bushing/rtab shot

    So my rear subframe bushing/RTABS are shot. Feels like my rear is loose all the time and at times it slides around way to easy on some spirited turns. The car overall does not have a planted feel and feels floaty at highway speeds and a bit sloppy despite my front suspension overhaul.

    If i got poly sub-bushings/rtab would this eliminate the slopping feeling of the suspension and give the car a more planted feel at highway speeds?

    Yes, at least in part. Check your swaybar bushings/endlinks as well.

    Did you do an alignment after going through the front?

      I did a alignment, the car drives straight at low speeds but i can feel the rear sliding and changing the course of the car at higher speeds. I did swaybar endlinks but forgot to get the bushings. Its not too late to get the bushings and do them right? I hope i dont need to buy new endlinks just to get the new bushings done.

        well if ur endlinks got streched around from all the slop you may need new ones. but you can always change out ur subframe and RTA bushings. btw idk about you, but me trying to get my subframe off was the biggest PIA ever. i pried on it as much as i could, i had to end up just torching the bushings and letting it drop down.
